NEW CIRCUIT BOARD

New circuit board for pure, solid bass

The circuit board has been optimised to improve electricity flow, making the power supply stable. That means you experience clearer sound and pure, solid bass in your music.

Better Bluetooth streaming

LDAC™ uses a conventional BLUETOOTH® connection, but transfers at a maximum data transfer rate of up to 990kbps – approximately three times that of other audio profiles. The result is enhanced wireless listening that's much closer to the artist's intention. Full aptX™ HD audio compatibility is available with a firmware update.
